Gladiator has sort of grown on me in a function-first kind of way. The tin-foil crossmembers give me pause and the putting that feeble tow-limited diesel package is a an absolute offense to oil-burners everywhere ... I keep threatening to drop an OM606.962 from a 98/99 MB 300D into my LJI get extorted dues every paycheck to defend the morons like these.
I went to Toledo for a week when they launched the ugly Gladiator. Now I get to build the uglier Wagoneers now that we are ending the 1500 Classic style next month.
Yes! The Wagoneer Project should have been killed. I can't believe anybody would drop 6-figures gor one of those.
